Blow Out on the Road (Men's Basketball)

The Gamecocks were blown out by Arkansas on the road. The Razorbacks beat us 92-79. It was an upsetting lost because we wanted to go down there and beat Arkansas after there first lost in a while. Arkansas is the division leader so if we would have beat them it would have helped us out a lot. The gamecocks have not been lucky on the road this year.
